I’m delighted to share that I have been offered the position of first ever Afghanistan Lead at @SAHM_UK Thank you to @_JasvirSingh for nominating and recommending me for this opportunity and for creating this important role of Afghanistan Lead for me and for including Afghanistan in @SAHM_UK for the first time ever in 2025! I am excited to see what we can do to amplify Afghanistan within the South Asia subcontinent. Thank you to @_JasvirSingh, Co-founder and Founder of @citysikhs and @BinitaKane, Co-founder & Consultant Respiratory Physician at @university50809 for establishing @SAHM_UK in 2020. @SAHM_UK is celebrated from July 18 to August 17 in the UK to recognise cultures and histories across South Asia, including Afghanistan, and it is led by various community groups and organisations, such as the South Asian Heritage Trust, that host events and initiatives. The theme for 2025, 'Roots to Routes', highlights the journeys and identities of people with roots in this region. Afghanistan's Role & Inclusion: Afghanistan is one of the countries recognised within @SAHM_UK, which serves to acknowledge the shared heritage and diaspora links between the UK and South Asian communities. Stories of Resilience: Through events like those mentioned above, the contributions and resilience of individuals from Afghanistan, including stories from the diaspora, are highlighted. lnkd.in/ejYpvSs7

The first starter for ten on #UniversityChallenge mentioned Malayalee nurses in a 2024 film (All We Imagine as Light). My parents are from the state of Kerala in southern India and the native language is Malayalam and people are known as Malayalees. #SouthAsianHeritageMonth @SAHM_UK

Thank you to everyone who joined for celebrating @SAHM_UK 🇵🇰🇧🇩🇧🇹🇮🇳🇲🇻🇳🇵🇱🇰🇦🇫 We came together to honour the vibrant cultures, histories & hard work of South Asian communities. We had some amazing stories of South asian women. They shared their experiences and journey to #Tameside.

This @SAHM_UK, we are shining a light on the extraordinary service of men and women from South Asia and of South Asian descent, and ahead of #VJDay80 we particularly remember those who served in the Far East during WW2. Find out more ⬇️ southasianheritage.org.uk/ro…

A special #CoffeeMorning to mark #SouthAsianHeritageMonth, celebrating this year’s theme: Roots to Routes Sharing stories, culture, and community spirit over a warm cuppa. Honouring our journeys and where we come from. #RootsToRoutes #SAHM2025 @SAHM_UK @cardiffcouncil

Each of us carries a unique story shaped by our roots and the routes travelled to get to where we are. Our histories, whether passed down through generations or formed through experience, inform who we are today. This year, we invite you to reflect on your journey and read reflections from our team and SAP as part of South Asian Heritage Month @SAHM_UK, which runs from 18th July to 17th August At Karma Nirvana, we recognise that for many, this journey is not a straight path. For survivors of HBA, the routes taken can be incredibly painful, complex, and courageous. Leaving behind family, community, or cultural expectations in pursuit of safety, freedom, and identity requires unimaginable strength. 🕊️ 🧵1/2 🎥 Watch the animation: piped.video/watch?v=9pXI5FBL… ➡️ Swipe right to read stories from our team and SAP #RootsToRoutes #SAHM2025 #HonourBasedAbuse #SouthAsianHeritageMonth
